do not, do not, do not be

do not, do not, do not, do not, do not

This week has been a rough one

If you have listened to this week's follow-up episode or follow me on social media, you know that after producing last week's episode, I continue to analyze the surveillance video, and I'm just not feeling as confident about my findings as I was last week.

I'm seeing some reflections that I didn't notice before, and I think that what first appeared to be a car approaching from the left and pulling into the milgars driveway, might actually be a car approaching from the right with its lights off and passing by to the left.

Understanding that I've maxed out, and then some, my photogrammetry skills, I've reached out for help.

As I'm writing this episode, photogrammetry expert Grant Fredericks is reviewing the surveillance footage. Since he has agreed to weigh in with his professional opinion, I'm going to default to his findings.

You may remember Mr. Fredericks from season 4. He's the photogrammetry expert that worked on the George Powell case.

No, I'm a forensic video analyst, so I examine both video and audio information recorded to digital video recorders for all sorts of different kinds of cases.

Whether that recorder is attached to a police officer in a body-worn video, or whether it's a bank or a taxi cab, or in this case a convenience store.

So I'll examine video evidence and assist the judge or jury to try to accurately interpret that information.

And that includes things like speed estimation, height analysis, and photograph of video comparison and a number of other techniques that deal with the examination of video evidence.

Grant is well respected in his field, and I believe that he will be able to bring us closer to drawing any conclusions from the Aspen surveillance footage.

In the meantime, we're going to circle back to Sinniad Gonzalez and Oscar Garcia.

About a month ago, I wrote to Mr. Garcia regarding what appears to be a Brady violation in his case, and I also wanted to know a little bit about Sinniad.

This week, I not only received my open record request back from Harris County on the cases, but I also received a letter back from Oscar Garcia.

Texas Ranger James Holland is a legendary interrogator. They call him the serial killer whisperer.

You can't hide those indications, and that's why yesterday I knew that you did it.

But now, shocking interrogation tapes reveal how the supercup really operates.

And that's why they ask me to come in because I'm special.

From something else, the Marshall Project and Sony Music Entertainment, this is Smoke Screen. Just say you're sorry.
